Sharon Jasper, a former St. Bernard complex resident presented by activists Tuesday as a victim of changing public housing policies, took a moment before the start of the City Hall protest to complain about her subsidized private apartment, which she called a "slum." A HANO voucher covers her rent on a unit in an old Faubourg St. John home, but she said she faced several hundred dollars in deposit charges and now faces a steep utility bill.

"I'm tired of the slum landlords, and I'm tired of the slum houses," she said.

Pointing across the street to an encampment of homeless people at Duncan Plaza, Jasper said, "I might do better out here with one of these tents."

Jasper, who later allowed a photographer to tour the subsidized apartment, also complained about missing window screens, a slow leak in a sink, a warped back door and a few other details of a residence that otherwise appeared to have been recently renovated.

Check out her "slum" in the photo and the big-screen TV she owns. I'll bet she has cable so she could sell her TV and cancel one bill to pay her utilities. She probably has two jobs, right? ...so she doesn't have much time for TV anyway. She'd be better off in a tent so she doesn't have to worry about minor details like a leaky faucet or warped back door that most of us have to fix for ourselves.

People helping themselves instead of waiting for someone else to do it for them? Surely you jest. :rolleyes:

She cant afford to pay her bills and has a free place to live. Then she complains about it while she sits next to her 50" HDTV:lmao:

The TV could have been part of the furnishings that came with the apt. Either way, it's miles away from being a "slum".

From what I could see it looks pretty decent to me! Either she is used to living in a mansion or she must be one of those people for whom you just can never do enough.

"I might be poor but I don't like to live poor."

Then, do something about being poor. I don't like to live middle class, I'd like to live like the uber-wealthy. Guess how that's working out for me... :lol:

Well, Rose Red, maybe people should just stop insulting her altogether then, huh?
